Hi everyone! I'm looking for women my age who are having difficulties keeping the weight off postmenopausal. I have always been within my weight range but the scale is starting to creep upwards especially this last year or so! I find that everything I put in my mouth is heading right to the scale and let's talk about that cute little pooch, right??? What is that all about, lol

Summer :flowerforyou:

    Me!

    Forced menopause five and a half years ago (I'm now fifty).

    Added to my collection of injuries and it's all downhill (at least that's where my butt is heading, closely followed by my stomach!).

    Will attempt to do the friend thing :->

    Hello, I am looking for info regarding losing lbs. I work out religiously and I monitor heart rate to verify that I am actually putting effort into workout..... Blah blah blah log food, blah blah blah. Anyone out there that can give suggestions on how to get the scale to move downward ?..?? Thanks

    Thanks for the friend request ladies! I find that exercising religiously and logging all my calories at least keeps me in line even if the scale doesn't budge. They say we need at least 200-300 calories less than before menopause! Who's "they" anyway, lol
    I do agree though, it's probably true. It is when I eat less than 1200 calories a day is when the scale will move. The problem is I entertain a lot in the summer and then one bite leads to many and the cocktails and wine, right? This is where I need help!

    I remember watching Oprah one day and she said quote..."Don't have a party in your mouth". So I did say yesterday at a small gathering that I need to start watching and instead of making my famous taco dip with cream cheese, I brought out carrot sticks and cucumber slices with hummus. It was just as tasty ladies!!
